Tuna Pasta Salad with Green-onion Dressing

Until recently, I was not too fond of cold pasta salads. The truth is that pasta is better hot and accompanied by a good sauce. This recipe changed all that.

There is something about the green-onion dressing that makes this pasta salad shine. Don’t be alarmed by the radioactive green color of it…it’s a part of the magic. Just make sure that you make enough of it because the pasta absorbs most of the dressing, and you will need to add some more.
